Those who were pre-ordained to have no good karma at all — gazing into the lamp of emotional attachment, they are burnt, like moths in a flame. – Sri Guru Granth Sahib

O youth or young man, who fancy that you are neglected by the gods, know that if you become worse, you shall go to worse souls, or if better to the better… In every succession of life and death, you will do and suffer what like may fitly suffer at the hands of like. This is the justice of heaven. – Plato
